Hello fellow Scampers! 

I am really hoping that some of you Scamp veterans can shed light on the various predicaments concerning our 1982 13'. 

Problem number one is that the latch on the door is experiencing two problems:  the first is that there is only one remaining screw holding the thing in place.  The second is that it would seem that the holes where the latch mounts to the door are stripped, and I'm not sure how to mount new screws, since there doesn't seem to be anything for them to grab onto.  If any of you have some insight into what we can do short of getting an entire new door, we would really appreciate it.

Problem number two is that when towing the Scamp, the little flame that keeps the Dometic refrigerator running keeps blowing out, requiring a restart every time we stop.  I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, or if it's a design flaw.  Does anyone know?  We learned that most RVers keep their refrigerators cold using LP gas while on the road, because using the battery on D/C drains it too rapidly.  Advice?

Problem number three is that the fresh water tank is leaking somewhere near the back, probably at the connection between the tank and the hose leading around to the sink.  Is it worth the trouble to pull the bench out and replace the water tank?  Or is it possible to replace the tank without removing the bench?  Any tips from anyone that has done this before?

I'm not afraid to tackle any of these projects, I'd just like some tips from more experienced Scamp owners before diving in blind. 

Thanks ahead of time!
